G’Day! So this week, I thought I would go into one of my all-time favorite Vodka’s. In fact, I turned JD among a few others onto this rather fine example of that neutral spirit. For about 300 yrs the Nolet family have been in the business of crafting fine spirits, and being based out of Schiedam, Holland(the supposed birthplace of Brandy and Jenever), you would expect no less. Named for the original Copper Pot Still Distilleerketel #1, which is still in operation, and is the perfect amalgam of old and new, with the original Still’s joints and couplings sealed with flour paste, while every other facet of the production is monitored and controlled by state of the art computer systems. Even their iconic Windmill has a function, providing a portion of the factory’s power and containing a full home theater for the Nolet family.On to the Vodka Itself! It is an odorless vodka that is as smooth as all get out, a vodka that you can not only drink straight, but really should.
